We all get up and we are trying to figure out what's happening. I look at everyone and they all look super confused. I'm not sure if they're looking for us or just looking around. Either way, we have to get out of here.

"What's the plan?" Axel says to the rest of us.

"I don't know, let's just run." Harris says.

"Just run? Are you stupid? I mean we need a plan, we can't just run like headless chickens." Axel says to him

"Okay, how about we just run west and try to lose them?" I say.

"Mandy, that's exactly what I just said." Harris says looking at me

"You just said let's run. You didn't even have a direction." I said looking at him.

"Ok enough talking let's just go. Like now." Louis says. So that's what we do. We all have to follow Harris. We need him to guide us because we can't see in the dark like he can.

We all take off running. I'm still a little weak from last night. As I'm running I trip. Axel is by my side and is picking me up. Though I don't mind, I don't wanna make it seem like I'm weak so I brush it off. "Thanks, but I got it." He just looks at me and goes "If you say so Katniss."

"What does that mean?" I say to him.

"You're just like her" he says to me.

"How?" I ask him.

"Well you like to be very independent even when you can't be, just like Katniss" he says.

"Well that's a nickname I'll never live down" I say.

Then Harris turns around telling Axel to run faster. We are halfway to the west, and holy shit does Axel run fast.
